About the Show:
After the collapse of civilization, a group of survivors share a campfire and begin to piece together the plot of “The Simpsons” episode “Cape Feare” entirely from memory. 7 years later, this and other snippets of pop culture (sitcom plots, commercials, jingles, and pop songs) have become the live entertainment of a post-apocalyptic society, sincerely trying to hold onto its past. 75 years later, these are the myths and legends from which new forms of performance are created.
A paean to live theater and the resilience of Bart Simpson through the ages, Mr. Burns is an animated exploration of how the pop culture of one era might evolve into the mythology of another.

MATT – Homer/Scratchy

About the Show:
This groundbreaking Obie-winning Off-Broadway smash also won multiple awards for its hit film adaptation. It tells the story of “internationally ignored song stylist” Hedwig Schmidt, a fourth-wall smashing East German rock ‘n’ roll goddess who also happens to be the victim of a botched sex-change operation, which has left her with just “an angry inch.” This outrageous and unexpectedly hilarious story is dazzlingly performed by Hedwig (formerly Hansel) in the form of a rock gig/stand-up comedy routine backed by the hard-rocking band “The Angry Inch.”
Roles:
Hedwig – A low-rent Rock Star in every sense of the word. The story focuses on Hedwig’s transformation, and will require the performer to be adept with singing, dancing (at least suggestive and entertaining movement) comedy, drama, storytelling, character voices, slight german accent, and revealing costumes (possible shirtless, but no nudity.) Majority of the story is told by Hedwig via monologue, as her story is being recounted, this includes her playing her German Mother, American Husband Luther, American teenage lover, Tommy and others.
Yitzhak- Former Drag Queen, sidelined by Hedwig. Trapped in a loveless relationship, full of spite, obligation, bitterness and jealousy. Relegated to “back up singer” Yitzhak is abused and mistreated most of the show. There is some redemption, and comedic opportunities, and solo singing, you are very much outshined by the abusive Hedwig.
